Friday Flowers/Vendredi fleurs.....

I love this time of the year in SW France as everyone emerges from their deep sleep and becomes alive again. The shutters on the houses are flung open and flowers start appearing in window boxes and on window sills of the houses in our village.It is also "marché aux fleurs" time of the year when all the villages have flower/plant markets and I can think of nothing nicer than spending a Sunday morning strolling around a fabulous village admiring the flowers and just enjoying village life in general. Of course, what I like even more is when they combine the marché aux fleurs with a vide grenier - my idea of French heaven.

The throwing open of shutters just sounds so French. Functioning shutters - a grand concept for those of us in the states that just want them for looks. That was one thing made me smile upon my first visit to France - my room had functioning shutters - the little things that make me smile. =)

Always love your Friday flowers.....If you like window boxes you might want to check out Through the French Eye of Design Blog, she just did a thing on windowboxes. There might be some Friday flowers for you! Maryanne:)Have a great weekend!
